INA ZC-C388 Engine Timing Chain

INA ZC-C388 Engine Timing Chain

INA ZC-C388 is an engine timing chain built for valve train service on a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications. This silent chain uses 64 links and is engineered to meet or exceed OE quality and performance expectations for timing accuracy and durability.

Key Features

• Silent chain design for smooth, quiet valve train operation
• 64-link construction
• Heat-treated chain plates and pins for controlled hardness and wear resistance
• OE-style timing chain replacement for engine timing service
• Cross-reference: INA Global Number 553 0573 100

Product Details

Built for engine timing applications, this INA timing chain is used in Chrysler Pacifica, Town & Country, Voyager, Grand Voyager, Intrepid, Concorde, Dynasty, Imperial, and New Yorker models, along with Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, and Intrepid, plus Plymouth Grand Voyager and Voyager applications. The ZC-C388 part number appears in timing chain service searches for 1990-2005 Chrysler Town & Country, 1990-2005 Dodge Caravan, and 1991-2000 Plymouth Voyager engine repair work where accurate camshaft and crankshaft synchronization is required.

INA timing chains are manufactured with heat-treated plates and pins to help maintain precise hardness across the chain assembly. That construction supports consistent timing operation in high-mileage and repair-replacement scenarios where chain wear, stretch, or noise has become a concern.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or stretched engine timing chain
• Restoring camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Addressing timing chain noise in silent chain applications
• Repairing timing-related drivability or starting issues caused by chain wear
• Servicing OE-style valve train timing components on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, timing set configuration, and chain length before installation. Match the chain to the vehicle’s original timing system and inspect related components such as guides, tensioners, and sprockets during service. Proper timing alignment is critical during installation to avoid engine damage and ensure correct valve timing.

Quality Assurance

INA timing chains are produced to meet or exceed OE quality and performance standards. The chain plates and pins are heat treated to precise hardness specifications to support durability and long service life in engine timing applications.
